The Mermaid – Great Big Sea
Tabbed by: RJ
Tuning: Standard
This is the gist of what’s going on in this song, as best I can figure.
Verse (this pattern repeats for each verse):
When I waCs a lad in a fishing toFwn,
CMe old man said to me: F
“You can spend Cyour life, your jolly life, F
Just saiGling on the sea.
You can search Cthe world for pretty girls, F
‘till your eyeAms are weak and dim, Em
But donF’t go searching for the mermaid Cson,
If you don?G??t know how to swim.” C
Chorus:
F‘Cause her hair was green as seawCeed,
Her skiFn was blue and pale, C
Her faceF it was a work of art, C
I lFoved that girl with all my heart, C
But I onlFy like the upper parCt,
GI did not like the tail. C
Q.E.D
Enjoy!
